After watching this trailer for the new Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider and David Spade movie Grown Ups, I am strangely getting pretty psyched to see Old Dogs:
Wow. I feel like I’m missing something here. Is this a pitch perfect mockery of everything bad about Hollywood comedies? I know every one one of these actors has been in a terrible movie or two before, but there’s no way they’d join forces and make movie with a hacky title like Grown Ups, right?
Between the Disney narration to that shot of “the guys” laughing and drinking wine in a cemetary to Kevin James hitting that tree, someone at some point HAD to have said something along the lines of, “We’ll show those jerks on the internet how you make a fake cheesy movie trailer!” These guys are professional comedians. They don’t actually expect us to believe this movie would be a good way to spend two hours and $13… right?
To Chris Rock’s credit, he looks pretty embarrassed to be involved at all. Also, I’m guessing they passed on these titles:
Adults
Older People
Middle Aged Family Men
Growin’ Old
Mature Human Beings
